I think Larry has the right idea... build beautiful boat and take
beautiful lady friend on boat for trip to islands.

Then,, if it gets "chilly" you can cuddle..


hahahahahahahhaah



And if it doesn't get "chilly".....HEAD NORTH until it does!...(c;

I found a great porn video of two 20-somethings just gettin'-it-on in the
V-berth of a really nice looking yacht. They're struggling, she's
screaming and carrying on, banging her head on the overhead, the way it
oughta be!

I took it to a boat party on my laptop which I hid until they were all
drunk and rowdy. "Does anyone know these people?", I asked them while
booting it up? The drunks searched the whole marina, even the transient
dock, listening for that noise she was makin' the rest of the
night!....hee hee.

Cap'n kept looking in our V-berth, then he'd turn around and say, "Nope.
Not yet!", to the delight of the assemblage. The females especially
loved my "presentation video"...(c;

About midnight, I snuck the notebook up into the V-berth and set
Windows' scheduler to play it at loud volume in 30 minutes behind the
closed door. Very realistic....

I love dock parties.....

Don't need a magazine to party.....need a GIRL and some BOOZE!

Saves a lot of money and extra work if you skip the boat...(c;

On a more serious note, there are lots of magazines, including mags like
Cruising World, etc., posted from massive CD magazine subscriptions over
on the alt.binaries.e-book newsgroups every month. Data stores much
easier than paper on a boat. Take a few thousand to sea on your cruise.

Buffett always graces our dock parties....at least until Cap'n puts on
his favorite opera singer.

Ever heard a bunch of boat drunks singing along with an opera?....walking
back to the marina on the street, acapella?....(c;

Hey Larry, how do you find magazines posted on alt.binaries.books
newsgroups? I've tried searching with a bunch of different criteria to
no avail. If fact I haven't found much in the way of useable books there
either, lots of poetry and novels is all.

Thanks,

First, you must be on an NNTP-based news reader hooked to a real news
server, not some webpage-based nonsense like Google. I'll assume you are
connected to a real Usenet NNTP server that has binary news groups, not
just text like the freebies do.

Your header is all munged nonsense, so I can't see what news reader, if
any, you are using. It must be capable of downloading and decoding Yenc-
encoded binary files. I recommend Xnews from xnews.newsguy.com but there
are many others that specialize in binary decoding. .pdf files from e-
book newsgroups decode directly to the readable .pdf, .chm or other
text/picture formats, except a few stupidly compressed into .rar files,
which requires WinRAR to assemble later. The mags decode directly.

I'm looking at newsgroup alt.binaries.e-book.technical and I see
posted Jan 07 a .pdf file for:
Ger's Leesmap Nr 72 [35/53]"Sailing_World_-_Jan-Fed-07.pdf" yEnc(~~/78)
in its subject line. Xnews compiles all 78 messages in this binary file
into one line, making it easy to pick. This would be the Jan-Feb 07
issue of Sailing World. Each month, someone called 4Fun posts the entire
Ger's Leesmap magazine CD-Rom for all kinds of magazines. This is one of
them. There are 53 magazines in Nr 72 CD posted Jan 07. I download
thousands of books, magazines, technical papers and other things that
interest me from this one newsgroup every week. If you need the
Operations Manual for the Boeing 747, it's posted here every so often for
our amusement, along with all the weapons manuals the kids can lay their
hands on...(c; I think I can start a nuclear reactor, too. I read its
manual from here...

How do you connect to the rec.boats newsgroups? Your header in your
message is a mess.

I am using Fort'e Agent for a news reader, is that ok to get those
magazine files?

Forte's products are better at text than binaries.

Go download Xnews free from xnews.newsguy.com and get the help files to
help you learn to use it. Leave everything default after you put in your
nntp server address (username and password if you need it, too). Xnews
will download that server's whole list, then you can go down through the
list and press the = key to "subscribe" that newsgroup you want, text
like this one or binary. That makes Xnews put that group at the top of
the list and automates the newsgroup's update data.

Open the alt.binaries.e-book.technical newsgroup and Xnews will open a
window asking you how many of these 48,832,445 messages you want to list.
DON'T try to list them all! Move the START slider control over so the
download count window says about 200,000 messages. Click OK and let it
load the last 200K message headers.

The list defaults sorted by Subject header. Don't touch it until Xnews
has completely downloaded, SORTED and THREADED them all, automatically.

Now, as you go down the list, you'll see each pdf, chm, etc.,
book/magazine/manual file is only ONE line of the list, not 46 separate
messages. It will tell you 46/46, which means we have 46 of 46 messages
that make up this split-up binary pdf file. A light blue Rubix cube
along the left side of this line tells you all the parts are on the
server and no parts are missing. A dark blue partial Rubix cube tells
you parts are missing, either because Usenet bombed it or it is missing
from the partial list you downloaded of the 48,832,445 messages
available. Only download completed files for now. Later you can play
with PAR files, which have the uncanny ability to correct errors and even
replace missing whole parts of binary files.

To the right of the SUBJECT field on the message window, you'll see a
column marked Q, which stands for Que. When you click on this line's Q
box, a number shows up in the Q column at this line, which is the
location in the download que of this magazine. You may click as many
binary files as you like, each one getting a higher and higher number as
you continue. If you make a mistake, click it again and it will unque
the line. You may also click and drag down the Q column to que and
number a whole line of binaries to download in line. If the line is
longer than your screen, you may get it to mark and scroll down (or up)
by moving the mouse pointer around in a tiny circle that MUST stay inside
the bottom Q box.

After you've marked a few hundred files, look at the bottom line of the
message window and you'll find a blue Rubix Cube button. That's the
DOWNLOAD/DECODE/STORE button. Click it and a standard Windoze folder
selection window will pop up so you can OPEN (not just point to) the
folder you want Xnews to put its decoded, compiled, ready-to-read binary
files into. Once the downloading begins, at how ever fast your broadband
connection can stand, you are free to go back up the list and click even
more files to get, even while it's downloading. Every time it gets a
message piece of the current file Q = 1, all the numbers in the Q column
will decrement by one. As each file is completed, it goes on to the next
in the que to get it. Once you've marked as many as you want, just walk
away and let Xnews automatically get them all, one after the other,
storing them where you told it to.

Once Xnews has completed today's massive binary download, all neatly
stored to disk, click the Check Mark button to the left of the Rubix Cube
button along the bottom control panel of the message window. This sets
the START pointer in this newsgroup to the last message so when we open
it again, tomorrow, it will list only new files uploaded since we last
downloaded....a smaller number, to be sure.

I'm using Xnews to write this message. There are two other newsgroups
open, limited only by how many ports your news server lets you have open
simultaneously, while I'm typing on this port. (I get 10 on
Usenetserver.) Ebooks and movies are downloading continuously, today.
Xnews will simultaneously download as many groups as you have ports for,
but, of course, more than one open splits your available bandwidth
between them all, slowing down the downloading.

Once you learn how to use Xnews' complex system to handle NNTP usenet,
you'll dump the Agent kiddie cruiser for the simple minded. I can't
believe he gives Xnews away for free.

Keep a sharp eye out for huge hard drives and fast DVD burners at bargain
prices. You're gonna need them when you become an addict. There's
1.9TB, 1900 GB of hard drives on my system. I spent last night
offloading to DVD+Rs a few hundred GB so I'd have space for today...(c;

If your crappy internet service refuses to let you have unlimited
downloading from Usenet, and most do, go to http://www.usenetserver.com/
and buy Usenetserver's truly unlimited service for $15/month, no
contract. 3 months is $40, a discount. Retention after the last massive
upgrade is now over 45 days and completeness hovers around 99.5% so you
don't miss any parts....unless the guy who uploaded it screws up.

Buy a big, tall DVD storage rack that doesn't depend on the DVDs being in
cases. It keeps your friends from walking on the latest 45000 MP3 files
you downloaded since Sunday...(c; My collection is over 21,000,000 songs
from Edison's first commercial recorded cylinder to the latest hip hop
songs that makes my girlfriend horny.

I also recommend the Gateway 21" LCD monitor that rotates to vertical
document mode. The included software driver listens to the USB data from
this beautiful monitor so that when you simply rotate the display to
vertical or horizontal, the driver automatically switches Windows over.
Magazines in Adobe Acrobat, clicked to FULL SCREEN mode, displays a
single page as big as the screen in beautiful colors more vivid than the
paper magazine it was printed to. The picture is bigger than the
original page and very easy on the eyes. Roll it back over to horizontal
for those widescreen movies from alt.binary.movies.divx that won't come
out in the theatres until next month...(c; Compiling huge movie files
requires you to buy WinRAR from www.rarlabs.com. Movies are split up
into 40-60 pieces, then the pieces are sent as 30-200 messages Xnews
decodes into the .rar set. After you download the rar binaries to your
hard drive, you run WinRAR to recombine all the compressed rar data into
the 700 to 1400 MB DivX or Xvid movie to play with VLC from
www.videolan.com, which is the finest free, open-source player on the
planet. It will play anything. But, that's another story....(c;

Larry,

Excellent post!

1.9 TB ! You get paid way too much.

One thing you did not mention was PAR files to repair the incomplete's.
I think for a new user News Rover would be a better choice
although it is not free it is much easer to use and it does RAR files and
PAR recovery automatically.

http://www.newsrover.com/

I have been using news rover for about three years now and love it.
Currently I am using version 11 and have not parted with the upgrade fee to
the latest version yet.

Thanks Larry, I will def check out xnews. My isp doesn't carry all the
groups, nor does it keep messages longer than 2 weeks, so I'll also have
to look into usenetserver if I get addicted
